Hi Sylvester,
You're right, and I came to the same conclusion a bit earlier, in [1], but I
didn't notice my FAI didn't actually send the mail. Your analysis of the core in
non-OF/ACPI case is the reason I didn't post a patch for dm9000 ... I was
overconfident in finding a reason in irq core code within a couple of days.
Therefore:
Acked-by: Robert Jarzmik <robert.jarz...@free.fr>
And I can make a test for you on my cm-x300 board, even if your patch is very
alike the draft I had in my internal tree since then.
Cheers.

Hi Linus,
I was bitten again by the rising/falling flags of interrupt flags.
The commit which triggered this "regression" (the wording regression is rather
incorrect so please don't take this as an incentive to revert) is :
b5a099c67a1c ("net: ethernet: davicom: fix devicetree irq resource")
The exact context is that for platform type builds, the irq rising edge flag is
not activated in the irqchip, ie. in the gpio-pxa.c pxa_gpio_irq_type() is not
called. The board used for this test is arch/arm/mach-pxa/cm-x300.c (line 200).
Now I've started to add printks here and there, and from a first glance :
- platform_get_irq() is correctly calling irqd_set_trigger_type()
- but upon the request_irq() in drivers/net/ethernet/davicom/dm9000.c:1319,
these flags are not taken into account
=> this is where commit b5a099c67a1c comes into play
=> re-adding irq_get_trigger_type(dev->irq) to the passed flags does solve
the
issue
I tried to ponder whether my commit was wrong, or if it's the gpio-pxa.c which
is wrong, or something else. My inner feeling is that dm9000.c code is now
correct, and that something else is happening that I don't understand.
I'm bringing this to your attention if you have an idea before I begin to dig
deeper, add printk() and go down to the problem.
Cheers.
